All About Pocket Knives

Just my opinion KAW - I think no doubt the Walden would be considered a Boys Knife - I can't tell with the NYKC but for sure it is an equal end jack knife and couldn't quite tell the length on it - those smaller than 3 & 1/2" and generally a barehead jack were boys knives but there are multiple examples of where cutleries produced boys knives with rear bolsters as well but not a majority... interesting that in 1895 Montgomery Wards listed 18 boys knives and many had rear bolsters and even some fancier handle materials...

Nice knives, Joe and Ken!

DOES ANYONE HAVE A UNION KNIFE CO NAUGATUCK BRASS HANDLE BOYS KNIFE FOR SALE I HAVE THE NEW YORK KNIFE CO & THE EMPIRE NEED NAUGATUCK

Great knives all, here are the only ones I have. The Catt is my favorite of course. The Grahamsville is a rae one as is the Walden shown with the box. The Walden is marked WALDEN over CoO. I think this is from the Walden CO-OP company. It is worn and has no snap but it a rare one.

Here are 4 new pickups. I think they are all considered boys knives.

Great knives Mike and ludwig26 ....

Mike - nice rare find on the Walden ...

Ludwig26 - definitely all boys knives and nice ones as well .... Think I was able to see the maker stamps once I turned my computer on the side .... I have the same "The Boy of America" knife which was in the Knife magazine article (can't use the article photos to show you as I think they are now copyrighted by the magazine - not sure but will find out ) - made by Russell long ago - a classic!

Thanks longblade. I bought my subscription
To knife magazine to get your article. They were
Nice enough to start me out with that edition and even sell me an extra copy for a friend.
Could you tell me anything about the little sheep foot in my group. It is a hy Kaufmann solingin but can’t pin down when it was made.
Thanks, kerry

Thanks Ludwig26 and appreciate it!!! Hope the article was of interest...

The Kaufmann Cutlery was from Germany ( Soligen) - 1856-1995... according to Goins and Levines guides... Cool old knife and love the sheep foot blades on the boys knives...

Yes i did like the article very much. I keep
Referring back to it as I learn about these little knives.
I look forward to any future articles that you may write.

Great bit of history there! The Grahamsville knife is definitely a prize as well as the Walden!....

Some awesome knives being shown in this thread! Here's a stag-handled one made by A. F. Bannister & Co. It's one of the smaller boy's knives at 2 5/8" closed.

Great old Boys Knife Dave - ... nice score - all looks good on the knife but the bone is really sweet on a knife that small!!!

Beautiful knives, Dave and Keith.

Keith you are showing some great knives!!

Dave I love that little NJ knife man the stag is great!!

Keith - Nice group of Remington Boys Knives !!! You are on roll my friend - to echo Mike you are showing some great knives!!

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

espn77: Very much drawn to the spear point on your 1063.

Thanks QS, if only the pen blade didn't set a tick high. I'm just happy to have one with an etch.

I wanted to share this Remington Boys Knife R23CH which Keith motivated me to look for based on his knives but needed to find the right photo - the knife was in the Knife Magazine article but I couldn't use the same exact photo as I think they now have it copyrighted .. just don't know but didn't want to chance any issues so a slightly different photo)... anyway rolling off Keith's beautiful examples this is my best Remington that I own for sure (and btw both have full blades but don't have a photo of the pen blade at the moment)... lucky to have it and thanks to Steve Pfeiffer (knifeaholic) in finding it ....

WOW!!!!!! THAT'S THE BEST ANYONE HAS. Oh the envy.

That's a real beauty there, Lee, and a nice accessory.
All you guys are showing great looking knives on this page. I wouldn't give them to any boy.

Thanks Keith and Joe .... Keith - I knew this may get your blood pressure up but knew you would like seeing it as the Remington "guy" ...

Thanks, guys!

Awesome Remingtons, espn77 and Lee.
